Contribution of Spatial Heterogeneity and Temporal-Spatial Change of Ecosystems to the Thermal Environment of Tourist Destinations: A Case Study of Sichuan-Chongqing Region, China by Dechao Chen, Xinliang Xu, Huailong Jiang, Zongyao Sun, Luo Liu, Zhi Qiao

“…Based on the diurnal differences of the contribution indices, cities can be divided into three types: the day-night heat source type, the day-sink and night-source type, and the day-night heat sink type. (2) The farmland and the grassland ecosystems are the most important source and sink landscapes in the thermal environment of the Sichuan-Chongqing Region, respectively. (3) The region is affected by the spatial arrangement of the internal ecosystems and its own development conditions, and, consequently, there are significant temporal-spatial variations and role transitions between heat source and heat sink regarding the contribution of different ecosystem types to the thermal environment of individual cities. …”

What behavior is important behavior? A systematic review of how wild and zoo-housed animals differ in their time-activity budgets by Robert Kelly, Marianne Freeman, Paul Rose, Paul Rose

“…Overall, complete positive behavioral flexibility was suggested in Testudines (potentially a result from temperature variation to maintain homeostasis), completely migratory species who are exposed to heterogenous landscapes when traveling long distances, and for a specific primate, the ring-tailed lemur (Lemur catta) potentially to improve resource access due to their terrestrial nature. …”

Endophytic fungi related to the ash dieback causal agent encode signatures of pathogenicity on European ash by Maryam Rafiqi, Chatchai Kosawang, Jessica A. Peers, Lukas Jelonek, Hélène Yvanne, Mark McMullan, Lene R. Nielsen

“…Our results identify the threat Hymenoscypohus species pose to the survival of European ash trees, and highlight the importance of promoting pathogen surveillance in environmental landscapes. Identifying new pathogens and including them in the screening for durable immunity of common ash trees is key to the long-term survival of ash in Europe.…”
